Second pic on page two of Google Image results for "Brady Hoke". Here are two from page one looking pretty much the same, but they're older and don't show all of him, so I didn't use them the first time. Since I got called on it, here are the two full lengthish ones from the top page:

St. Louis is like 5 hours from KU. I've lived in St. Louis for 10 years. STL, as a BBQ town, is a myth. STL-style BBQ sucks, IMO. They let the stuff simmer in this highly acidic vinegar / catchup concoction for hours. It's terrible. (Don't get me started on STL-style pizza...)

Now, KU is only 45 minutes from Kansas City, which really might be the BBQ Capital of America.

I'm going to be contrarian. Dude has Rings and NFL contacts. He'll be able to recruit because he can legitamely tell kids "I know what it takes you get you to the next level and I can help you get there."

I think he achieves middling success at KU. Yes he never beats the cream of the B12, but he'll do well enough, get them a decent bowl, and give them some alums in the NFL to brag out. Assuming the fans don't get greedy he'll bring them success.

1. Weis had more talent at ND than any team he played outside of USC, and he turned in a number of lousy years despite it. Those people chose ND for ND, not Charlie Weis. His talent level will be far lower in Lawrence and his schedule will be comparable. I'd be surprised if he beats 7 wins more than once.

2. He, like Mangino, is a fat person. Very fat person. This is integral to the thread, yet you neglected to mention it.

Laugh all you want, but this means more FL kids goin to Ohio. Muschamp is totally gonna bounce back to Texas once Mack Brown realizes he's not a good coach anymore. Muschamp is one of those great coordinator-bad head coach types, IMO.

Do we have any openings on our schedule in the next three years? I'd love to beat Weis again, plus wins against BCS programs always look nice, and we'll have to schedule them fast before Weis gets fired.

Somewhere in the country there are a batch of relatively unknown young coordinators or coaches in non-BCS conferences currently waiting for their first chance at a BCS level program. These coaches will go on to fame and great success at whichever school is smart enough to hire them.

Where he actually did a decent job -- although he left for Florida right before the playoffs.

The "schematic advantage" joke, like all good jokes, contains an insight -- Weis (like GERG) doesn't seem to be able to create the kind of adjustable schemes required on the 23-and-under level, where you will always have players at different stages of development together on the field. His schemes work in the NFL, but they don't have the kind of flexibility needed to mix an 18-year-old true-freshman corner with a 23-year-old fifth-year senior safety.

Kansas is really limiting their recruiting with this one, schematic advantage aside.. charlie cant do in homes with recruits in apartments........... If they are not on the first floor. As a matter of a fact, that is one of the first 3 questions asked in the initial phone conversation..

Weiss ... Hey how you doing_________?

__________- oh good,how bout you coachm

Weiss...... Just fine. So it looks like you live in an apartment.. I need to know if it is first floor and wheelchair accessable (no offense intended to anyone)..

I kind of feel bad for Charlie Weis. Not because he's fat, but because he has a daughter who is handicapped. His obesity and unlikeable persona aside, it's hard to hate a guy who has a handicapped kid.
